I'm not terribly sure if it's OK to post this - if not, please feel free to lock.

While I can't physically attend, I'm happy to announce that my work will be featured among 20 artists and photographers at 'The Art of Urban Exploration' gallery event, which will be happening Saturday, December 18 2010 at the RecCenter Studio (1161 Logan Street, Echo Park, California) from 2PM 4PM to 12 Midnight.

If you're in the area and not busy, I highly recommend dropping in. There will be bands, food and cash bar. The show is for all ages.

@ FC, living in the frozen city of Toronto I can only dream of a Californian gallery excursion. Give us some pics so I can pretend that I'm there! (( do a lot of urban exploration myself and am very curious about this multi-media event) Good luck

Sweet, I'm really looking forward to them! I have only been seeing some snippets about it here and there since most folks haven't put up photos of the event yet, but I'm really anxious to see just what the space was like. It sounds like it was a lot of fun :D

That's a link to a gallery of 30 images from the event. They're ok - they give a decent idea of the space and what was going on, but unfortunately I tried doing them all without a flash on long exposures, and my camera is not great, so they came out a little blurry most of the time. They're not terrible, but there were a lot of photographers there that night, so I'm sure some far superior pictures will start making their way online as the week goes on.

I wish I could have recorded the bands - they were terrific - I didn't plan on staying as late as I did, but I couldn't leave because of all the great music.

In particular this guy:

It's hard to see, but he is playing the bass upside down, bracing it up with his leg, while singing into a mic that is taped to the bass, and also while the drummer drums on the bass itself with his sticks.
